"Ants are a curious race..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“How are we to writeThe Russian novel in AmericaAs long as life goes so unterribly?”

“Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.”

“The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight; New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”

“Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature.”

“There is much in nature against us. But we forget:Take nature altogether since time began,Including human nature, in peace and war,And it must be a little more in favor of man.”

“Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful, and most noble employment of man”

“Men and things have each their proper perspective; to judge rightly of some it is necessary to see them near, of others we can never judge rightly but at a distance.”

“From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”

“Literature is eavesdropping.”
